Sinkhole in Florida swallows man in his bedroom
This story is true.. So often I’m accused of embellishing or purely making things up..
Here is the CNN article you can read on the developing sinkhole ..A quote from the article for the permanent record:
(CNN) – A 36-year-old man disappeared Thursday night when a sinkhole opened up under his bedroom in Florida, swallowing him as his brother tried to rescue him, authorities said.
Right after the ground started to give way in his home in Brandon, his brother frantically tried to keep him from sinking into the hole, an emergency official said.
The first deputy on the scene pulled the victim’s brother from the edge of the growing chasm, said Jessica Damico, a spokeswoman for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue.
Authorities have been unable to contact the man as the sinkhole expanded. The house was deemed unsafe for rescuers, Damico said.
Late Thursday night, the hole was about 100 feet wide and still growing, authorities said.
Area homes have been evacuated.
The AP has an alternate article on the sinkhole describing the victim as 34, not 36.. -

A horse of course .. In the US of course
Some people have denied the chances of horse meat actively being eaten in the United States.
Maybe you thought that way too.. Or still do. Until you read this New York Times article about how horse meat does travel through the US.. The Times reports:As concerns over horse meat infiltrating products labeled ground beef grows among American consumers, an advocacy group released shipping documents showing that horse meat does pass through at least one United States port on its way from slaughterhouses in Mexico to destinations in Europe.
How about that can of meat.. Or that schoo lunch.. Or the mystery meat you assumed was cow. Maybe the ney is growing louder for you now..

Two suns are better than one
Wait.. TWO SUNS!?
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv4vfQ4-vfU]
Are we seeing an optical illusion!? Are we seeing a moon and the sun? Are we seeing two suns!?
We may be all getting duped by strange and fake YouTube videos supposedly of ordinary world citizens filming two suns in the sky.. I’d have to see it to believe it. But I don’t want to. And seeing it on video, even if it’s fake Youtubers showing it, creeps me out and chills me to my core.
If I only knew someone from the Hopi tribe.. I’d be meeting with them over coffee today. Maybe some whiskey too.

The Chinese rockets red glare over East Texas
There have been a number of strange objects in the sky lately, but .. a Chinese rockets over the United States!?
Nah..
Call me crazy.Until you read THIS from KLTV .. A woman saw some bright lights in the sky. It turned out to be a Chinese rocket falling to the earth over East Texas.
Nothing to fear.. the Communists have not declared war on us *(officially)* but this ranks up there with the strange occurrences happening across the world.. If it’s not satellites from North Korea falling, it’s meteors and asteroids.
Oh my. -
Glory of the Olives gone: The Papal Countdown is here
A friend of mine continues to send truly hilarious text messages about Pope Benedict, “Petrus Romanus” and the conclave coming up to choose the 112th pope in Malachy’s prophecy. I would use them as headlines but they are a little too .. out there. Perhaps I’ll share them in the coming days, simply for the humor value..
Today is Pope Benedict’s last day wearing the red prada shoes as the infallible one. He will step down .. and the gears get set into motion to choose the next. You can follow events of his departure on news sources around the world today.But what is not being reported?
There were rumors last week that an unnamed European country wanted to issue an arrest order for Ratzinger and others involved with sex scandals.. then the report surfaced implicating cardinals in the Vatican of being involved with gay sex.. Last year the Vatican imprisoned the Pope’s butler for sharing classified information–and some of that involves drug money in the Vatican bank along with the mafia.. And then “vatileaks” hit the news.. and then .. and then .. and then.. It goes on and so it goes.But all the while, the media, in America at least, didn’t pay much attention to what exactly was happening. The rest of the world–especially the great “Satan” of Europe (some Catholics have compared it to that since they are taking on Rome the most)–reported much on the affairs and troubles hitting the Pope and the Catholic Church. It seemed the only thing that could grip Americans in the attention factor was salacious sex. All the while big money scandals involving the bank were happening fast and furious all throughout 2012.
And maybe this is why there is so much confusion in the United States concerning the Pope’s departure. There is ‘more to the story’ … where there is white smoke there is a new pope, but where there is smoke there is also fire. Something else is happening .. something else is forcing Benedict down.
Yes, he has health issues.
He may be blind in an eye..
God knows, he probably can’t hear anymore..
But for the first pope to resign in hundreds of years? Maybe the scandal wore him down to the point where he couldn’t ‘lead’ the flock anymore..As the Pope gets ready to hang up the white cassock, this we know: Benedict XVI pledges that he will be obedient to the next pontiff. He will also lose the red shoes, replacing them with a less infallible brown.
We are about to see history. A truly monumental event. And sadly, most Americans have not the clue as to why the pope is even stepping down to begin with…
